I donate every. single. month.

When I asked for sources it started backtracking very quickly

oh, god… its more human than I realized. :(

the ups and downs are battling hard on the parent comment. gotta admit, I had to think for a few seconds to get the gist of it, but its actualy pretty slick and perfectly snarky.

edit: only thought would be that an infinite selection of random data sets would be somewhat evenly split between compressable and non-compressable, but if you add compression structure, it tips the balance firmly into “file size increases” territory.

very cool little comment.

yes. dictionary based compression is truly awful when fed random data.

things get weird when we include “all possible states”

time dilation ftw!

I often follow links in the articles for extra context and some rabbithole escapism.

Rather than finding old strips of anti-bird spikes at rubbish dumps, Moeliker, who previously won an Ig Nobel prize for documenting the first known case of homosexual necrophilia among ducks, says…

is likely a “thats enough internet for today” moment.

what, no love for CodeLite when working on smaller projects?

this would actually be pretty interesting. any details?

anything qanon related will make your brain implode faster than a carbon fiber pressure hull at 12k feet.

edit: this is not a good thing

sudo apt install manager

looks around for the dropped /s

this is a pretty decent approach. glad you are here :-)

I feel you on this and I am torn. the abuse by reddit centers around treating user content and the users themselves as an owned asset. burning your own content with fire is a valid protest with sort term pain and potential long term gain for everyone.

my question is, what happens when reddit starts to restore user content with no link back to the original content creator account? I have not looked at the current reddit ToS. Does reddit legally think they own your content?

search engine indexes eventually age out on dead content and, hopefully, 12+ months on “lemmy:” will be a thing.

I’ve got tanks of it. just let me know if you need a refill.

the vast majority of people here right now really, really want this to work - great incentive to chat, debate and content create (even if its currently small scale). I think we collectively got this.

pretty much. the very nature of the open source, decentralized fedi tends to attract a certain mindset; a mindset that is decidedly anti-fascist. with vigilant pushback when needed i think we will be good.

exactly this! find something (even if its only tangentially related) and join. post something. this is a great opportunity to stop lurking and make an outsized contribution to your fellow humans by posting content. you are here. your influence and actions right now matter.

its going to take time, but I have a feeling things will accelerate quickly. I am here permanaently, now just need to create and find reasons for others to join me/us.

truly the hero we need!
